Cs. Jia et al., A UNIFIED RECURRENCE OPERATOR METHOD FOR OBTAINING NORMALIZED EXPLICIT WAVE-FUNCTIONS FOR SHAPE-INVARIANT POTENTIALS, Journal of physics. A, mathematical and general, 31(20), 1998, pp. 4763-4772
We construct a unified recurrence operator method for obtaining explic
it expressions for the wavefunctions of shape-invariant potentials. Ic
is found that the normalized coefficients for the energy eigenfunctio
ns satisfy a universal recurrence relation. The procedure is illustrat
ed in detail for four potentials. We work out the normalized explicit.
wavefunctions of Hulthen potential, for which the normalized explicit
wavefunctions have not been previously calculated.
